The report also suggests the Tiguan could receive two additional variants. The first, likely to be called the Tiguan XL, will be aimed at bridging the gap between the current Tiguan and the Touareg. Based off the Volkswagen CrossBlue Concept we saw last year, the Tiguan XL will feature a third row of seating and will be longer than both the standard Tiguan and Touareg.

In addition to the Tiguan XL, Volkswagen is reportedly planning a niche Tiguan “Coupe”, adapting a sleeker design and similar formula to what BMW uses in its “crossover coupes”. As for the powertrain, it’s anyone’s guess given VW’s array of turbocharged gasoline and diesel engines, but the report specifically calls out a 1.4-litre turbo-four with cylinder deactivation, likely the one previewed in the Passat BlueMotion Concept earlier this year.

If the rumours hold true, we could see the Tiguan Coupe and XL debut sometime around 2016.
